With the RuPay Prime Volleyball League getting the attention from several corners of the country, the founding partners of the Prime Volleyball League have decided to announce the Kerala Premier Volleyball League. It will be a Kerala-based state volleyball league. The competition will consist of teams from the districts and will be organized in the second half of the current year. The announcement of the tournament was made ahead of the second RuPay Prime Volleyball League Semi-Final match on Friday. The dates and the venue of the Kerala Premier Volleyball League will be announced soon. This state league will be exclusively marketed by Baseline Ventures.

Each of the teams can also select a limited number of players from another state or abroad for the volleyball league. The organizers of the Kerala Premier Volleyball League have already initiated discussions with television channels to broadcast the league. It will also be telecast on an OTT platform.

The larger vision for the Prime Volleyball League India Pvt. Ltd is to set up various volleyball leagues in a host of states across India to provide a platform for volleyball players at the grassroots level. The region-based leagues will also be utilized to scout and develop players, who can go on to play in the apex RuPay Prime Volleyball League, as per a press release.

Kerala has been a breeding ground for talented volleyball players for several decades and has produced many legendary volleyball players, and given the love for the sport in this state. It is only fitting for the first region-based league to begin in the state of Kerala.

Who said what?

Speaking about the development, Tuhin Mishra, Co-Founder & MD, Baseline Ventures said, “It has been absolutely overwhelming to see the response the RuPay Prime Volleyball League has received in the last couple of weeks and we would like volleyball mania to continue throughout the year. I am delighted to announce that a number of region-based volleyball leagues will be conducted in India, with the first of them being the Kerala Premier Volleyball League. We have seen many talented players dazzle audiences in the ongoing RuPay Prime Volleyball League and I am sure that there are many more such talents that we will find through the Kerala Premier Volleyball League.”

Owner of Kochi Blue Spikers, Thomas Muthoot said, “Muthoot Pappachan Group is committed to support and promote volleyball in India. In Kerala, the sport is well connected to the grassroots and has a rich legacy of producing outstanding players for the nation. The Kerala Premier League will create a big platform for volleyball talents, especially from the state, as we believe the league to be a game changer in popularising the sport. Our association with KPL gives us another opportunity to positively influence the growth of players by providing them with a perfect platform to excel. The formation of KPL and our patronage to it is a part of our efforts to create sustainable development of volleyball in India.”
